Total props to [mention]jhunter13 [/mention] on this!!

We were conversing about the teach n train this coming Saturday outside of Philly and saddles and his thread injecting. He let me know how happy he is with a 15-91. And seeing his recent work, I could tell that a 15-91 would be more than enough for my saddle and aider making needs.

I have a new singer 45** and it is not confidence inspiring. Well, he saw a deal on FB marketplace and alerted me early this morning. I immediately made the call and picked it up this afternoon. The seller said I would not believe the amount of calls he got on it from 8AM until 3PM today. I am glad i offered to PayPal him immediately! $40 was total cost. Came with table and other accessories.

I have a local singer repair shop that was on the lookout for one for me. I might just take it there for an overhaul. Just to be on the safe side. It does crank easy. Looks good. The cord is a little rotted, but nothing that cannot be replaced.

Anywho, I am stoked for this find.

I picked up a Necchi Supernova on Monday for free during a curbside garage cleanout. Keep your eyes open for the sewing machine cabinet type while out driving. The father and son even loaded it into my car for me. :blush:

Noooooo!

I talked myself into a sailrie, then a juki, then started saving, then COVID, then the 15-91 for $40. I think I will be fine for saddles and aiders and maybe backpacks. Not trying to start a business, so the machine won’t be running 8 hours a day.

But then again, who knows.

My 15-91 has a twin now.

Got it for $50. (Down from $90 asking price). Motor runs, foot pedal works, no drag or stickyness on turning, the needle moves up and down, has a knee bar (which I like), but foot pedal is not currently inserted in its place. I’ll move the foot pedal there. Just has 1 bobbin and the bobbin case.

I wish the table would have opened on both sides instead of one. But I can live with that.

Overall, I think it was a fair deal. Possibly could have gotten it $10 cheaper, but I am just glad that my 15-91 itch has been scratched and I’ll have a backup (once I rewire, clean up, grease and oil).

Now that you mention it, I saw a 15 clone (belt model) available for FREE, no table, just the unit in a case, or at least the bottom of the case. I am scheduled to pick it up after lunch today.

I figure parts, see how the belt driven model works, and a spare for my spare.

I might need an intervention from you [mention]jhunter13 [/mention] or [mention]bj139 [/mention] if I keep up with this!

I got two yesterday, a Nelco for free without cabinet, yea, and a White with cabinet with 2 dozen specialty stitches for $20. 1.3 amp motor on the White. A plastic piece on the Nelco broke when I was oiling and moving levers. The White seems to be doing good after taking off a panel and getting oil into the depths.
